Chapter 361. 362. Professional face slapping (one more)
As the game is about to start, the two sides also announced their starting lineups.
Cavaliers:
Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, Ilgauskas.
Bobcats:
Mo Williams, Joe Johnson, Wallace, David Lee, Okafor.
In this game, Liu Rui chose to let Gerald Wallace return to the small forward position, and directly match up with James on the court.
Although whether it is Christie or Ariza, both of them can also have a great impact on James, but when it comes to the best defensive player on the Bobcats team today, it is definitely Gerald Wallace.
Compared to Christie, Gerrard's younger feet will move faster, and he can still maintain a good defensive level in super high playing time.
Compared with Ariza, Gerrard has great advantages in defensive experience and physical fitness, so he is definitely the best candidate to defend James.
And because Gerald Wallace came to the third position, Liu Rui also played David Lee in the fourth position.
It can ensure that the ball rights on the court can be moved more quickly.
The Cavaliers have been using Gooden to start at the power forward position.
Although Gooden and Marshall will share the playing time on the field equally, compared to Marshall, Gooden's defensive ability is definitely much better than the latter.
After the start of the game, the Cavaliers got the ball first. After all, Ilgauskas' height has a great advantage when jumping the ball.
Under Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, the Cavaliers have been attacking around James this season, basically creating breakthrough opportunities for James through pick-and-rolls with Gooden.
On the offensive end, Larry Hughes and Eric Snow are responsible for shooting after receiving the ball, and the two have one thing in common in the backcourt, that is, they have excellent defensive capabilities, which can ensure that the Cavaliers have high compatibility on the defensive end.
This kind of lineup matching method is also the characteristic of this era, that is, other players with excellent defensive ability are placed next to the team's head star, and the players who are strong offensively and weak defensively will be placed on the second team.
So this also led to the fact that the ball rights in the first team are basically concentrated in the hands of the leading stars.
For example, the current Cavaliers, Lakers, and 76ers all use this style of play and collocation.
Facing James holding the ball, Wallace's defensive strategy in this game is very obvious. The whole person retreats within the three-point line, giving James at least two steps to shoot.
In this case, it is conceivable how difficult it is for James to suddenly emerge from Gerald Wallace. After all, Wallace is currently one of the best defensive players in the league's center line.
Seeing that Wallace, who was defending himself, put himself so far away, James hesitated a little, and then directly chose a shot from outside the three-point line.
When other teams defend James, they will also put some distance appropriately for James to shoot, but few teams release such a long distance.
So after the opening, James was also the first to try the touch.
Bang~
After this three-pointer hit the iron, the basketball also collapsed very far, and it happened to be accepted by Gerald Wallace who turned around.
After receiving the defensive rebound, Wallace directly and quickly counterattacked.
The Cavaliers have big center Ilgauskas, and they must not be able to keep up with other players in counterattack speed.
However, James' retreat speed is also very fast. Seeing that Wallace has accepted the backcourt rebound, he quickly returned to defense as soon as possible.
After all, Mike Brown also made some deployments for the Bobcats' three-pointers and defensive counterattacks before the game.
Now the entire league knows that these two weapons are the Bobcats' sharpest offensive means.
However, the Bobcats can rely on this simple style of play to set off a wave in the league, and naturally there are other reasons.
That is, the Bobcats can not only quickly promote the defensive counterattack, but also be able to shoot anywhere in the defensive counterattack.
This style of play similar to the Warriors sounds relatively simple, but it requires most people on the court to have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and they still make steady and quick shots.
Seeing that James' retreat speed was relatively timely, Wallace, who advanced to the frontcourt, also watched six directions, and saw Mo Williams following up from the right rear.
Then the whole person dribbled the ball directly to the left to accelerate the breakthrough, and a direct pass without looking at the ball was thrown to the right and rear.
In the usual training of the Bobcats, apart from the three-point shot, the most practiced off-ball pitcher is to receive passes from teammates from various angles.
The biggest function of being an off-ball shooter on the field is to make every hard-won shot, but before that, you have to learn to catch every hard-won pass.
So as soon as he saw Wallace's offensive choice after a slight pause, Mo Williams already had a tacit understanding.
He caught Wallace's pass very tacitly, without any hesitation after receiving the ball, and directly chose a quick open shot with one meter away from the three-point line.
In this defensive counterattack, whether it was Wallace's point or Mo Williams' shot, they were all done in one go.
There was no hesitation between the two, and this phenomenon just confirmed that the running-in of the Bobcats has gradually improved.
sigh~
3:0
Mo Williams scored the first goal of the game for the Bobcats at home.
And with Mo Williams' goal, the Bobcats fans at home also heard a tsunami of cheers.
The home cohesion of the Bobcats is getting higher and higher now. In addition to the better and better record of the Bobcats, of course it also has a lot to do with the style of the head coach Liu Rui in the league.
For the fans, it's not that they can't accept the loss of their home team, but they can't accept that the team's game is extremely constipated.
At present, the league can play such a smooth fast-break counterattack, except for the Bobcats, there is only the current Suns.
With the goal of the Bobcats, the head coach Mike Brown on the Cavaliers' bench also frowned.
Because all other teams in the league know that the Bobcats rely on defensive counterattacks and shots outside the three-point line, and he also made very strict arrangements for these two points before the game.
But after the opening game, the Bobcats used these two offensive methods to get the game off to a good start.
This kind of scoring that combines defensive counterattacks and shots from outside the three-point line also made Mike Brown feel a little slapped in the face, and he played very loudly.
The background of the software exploded today, and it crashed for about 10 minutes. After it recovered, all the data in the background was cleared, so today's tipping list was not counted by the old cat at night.
However, during the day, the old cat looked at it twice, but didn’t remember all of them. I’m sorry brothers, I’m afraid there may be omissions, so I can’t list them today. I’m sorry brothers.
